>Everyone has a right to an opinion.

I'd hope it wouldn't be a hot take to suggest that not every opinion is equal.

And that's my core issue. In spirit, you make a review to inform others of a product (many of whom have not experienced it), not to act as your personal mouthpiece for whatever political issue (unless your audience is in fact a political one. e.g. You have a review site based on LGBT friendly content). As such you need to keep an audience in mind for a review. I wouldn't make a review for Pokemon in the same way to someone who maybe played one game decades ago, compared to a fellow fan who's played nearly every main entry. Different audience, different content.

I appreciate different lenses, but for these general platforms your audience is often "interested in game, is it good?". I don't think making a PSN account is enough to say "game is bad, don't buy". So I wouldn't put that in a general user review anymore than I would complaining about some small story inconsistency from an Easter egg in a game (even if it itself is a controversy in the specific community).

But I'll admit this is a very personal quirk, perhaps outdated from a bygone era when communities were tight knit and you learned to talk differently with newcomers vs other regulars. General user reviews aren't very useful to me because there is simply so many ways to get the raw footage and see for myself if it has what I like. But I appreciate deeper comparisons and retrospectives after I played a game.
Excellent move. They were encouraging terrorism, and are funded by actors who are connected to terrorist activities. It's long overdue.

I count Ravikanth as one of my gurus. From working as a professor in a medical school to starting up a small microSaaS, I attribute it all to Ravikanth who condensed everything one needs to know into a few tweets, followed by its expansion on his podcast.

Now, I preach seeking of Specific Knowledge to all my students and the principle of leveraging bots through programming as well as learning marketing no matter which field you belong to.
This is an unbelievably ignorant comment. As someone else pointed out, Swiss German is not the same as German and there are many (widely spoken) languages that are spoken in many different countries as there are many countries where many different languages are spoken.

The entire point of TFA is that there isn’t a simple mapping between flags of countries and languages so we should probably stop trying to create one.

> Back in my day we all had to use ASCII, etc etc.

And it turned out that this assumption was a bad one hence the need for Unicode. Why make the same mistake again?
I can't believe this hasn't been a bigger issue. Other than a handful of comments on steam about this when the game was first released, most people have either ignored this or don't care.
I think PSN account is limited a few countries only. And not allowed in over 190 other countries.

So if you already purchased the game and live in the other 190 countries, you are locked out of your purchase.
Somewhat related given the isolation element, pretty interesting: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2130424/
Given how the automated ones are being developed in a “move fast and break thing” fashion by engineers under strong management pressure to deliver ASAP, I'm not sure the alternative is too much of an improvement.

If we added mandatory formal methods use (mathematically proving the code's invariants) during development, and gave full criminal liability to the managers in charge of the project when someone is injured/killed, then it probably would, but we clearly aren't there yet.
You have to try it to get it. They've really tuned the gameplay and the four player co op adds a huge amount of depth. Unfortunately there aren't a lot of PVE co op games like this.
There really is no such thing as 'gamers', any more than there are 'movie-goers' or 'streamers'. Everybody does it. Some demographics will love to tribe up just for the sake of it. Some will just shrug and move on. One of the saddest things about game marketing is how it's still hyper-focused on horny teens.

That said: As long as companies can change their TOS, content or even the availability of their game, the review system should be equally flexible.
I have two identical Mikrotik devices bolted to a wall beside each other in a closet. One is the WAP serving all of our phones, the laptop I use for work, the laptop my wife uses for work, the TV, the PC hooked to the TV, and everything else. It’s been 100% rock solid.

So my initial assumption is definitely going to be that the nearly identical setup except only serving a handful of low bandwidth devices is going to be just as solid.

That would seem to be a safe assumption given I’ve no noticeable missing data points from the $700 German air quality sensor that I’ve been recording for years and is connected via that access point. It’s moved to various rooms and points throughout the house as demand dictated without issue.

It would seem to be the case given I can pull up a feed from the WiFi IP camera I hooked up and pull it continuously with no latency or dropped frames whenever I want.

If I have an infrastructure issue, it’s one that is curiously selective about cheap IoT hardware while ignoring whatever other random stuff I hook up.

After a decade of installing MikroTik networks in hotels, condo buildings, and office buildings supporting all manner of nonsense you can take my word that there is a strong, reliable, WiFi network connection available at any point inside my house… or you’re welcome to come by with whatever diagnostic gear you’d like and tell me how it’s broken. I’d love to be able to make good use of some of that wifi IoT stuff!
eh, just give some apologize items, cosmetics or credits, then it'll go back to be the most praised game again.

SEEKING FREELANCER | REMOTE (North America or Europe) or ONSITE (San Francisco) | Electron Expert

We sell digital signage, and a host of related products, that create interactive retail experiences. This is powered by a small stick, that you plug into the back of any TV. That stick is Intel hardware, which runs Linux, various Docker containers, and the main UI for our service, through Electron.

The software that runs on it hasn't really been touched for a few years, and we are running into issues. The main issue is video decoding, where we cannot get hardware acceleration to work in Electron. For 1080p we've been able to ignore it, but we want to support 4K now, where things don't work without video acceleration.

We are looking for someone who is an expert with Electron + Linux + dealing with driver issues between them. If things go well, there will be more work down the line (and if you want, a full time position).

If you fit the bill, but are located elsewhere, please still get in touch. These locations are preferred, as it'll make shipping hardware for testing to you easier, but for the right candidate we can make an exception.

> FFMPEG doesn't support using dav1d for encoding

dav1d is a decoder. Nobody supports using it for encoding. It does not do that.

https://code.videolan.org/videolan/dav1d quoth:

d *av1* *d* is an *AV1* cross-platform *d*ecoder, open-source, and focused on speed and correctness.
Well, yes and no, it depends...

It does require a lot of thinking before hand about the user interactions and their impact on the application state, user workflows, etc. However that thinking should already be happening regardless of the choice of implementing technology (granted it doesn't in a lot of cases :| )
With all due respect, I believe there is a certain demographic in IT that just has a way too trivial working model of how stuff they don’t work on directly operates.

Like, they know how to do a simple HTTP query in C/go whatever, and then don’t understand why would you need the whole complexity of spring.

It just turns out that the real world is more complex than what they assume - and they are often more than aware of that in their specific subfield.
This has so much of what I (as an outsider) love about the UK. The love of typography & general design chops, mudlarks, art and design in public life, the spirit of enquiry and adventure and, the presence of people in the bureaucracy and elsewhere who recognize whimsy and put institutional resources behind that pursuit.
> As for the Nazi origins of the pro-Palestinian movement, it starts in the 1920s with al-Husseini, the mufti of Jerusalem, who hated Jews so much he met with Hitler to discuss solutions to his own "Jewish Problem". This is why "pro Palestine" is today not about peace and sovereignty for the Palestinian people. It is about the elimination of the state - and people - of Israel. Really listen to the protesters.

You went further in this comment than the previous one, claiming that the pro-Palestinian movement has Nazi origins (meaning it originate via Nazism). This is pretty false.

And for many people, "Pro Palestine" is about peace and sovereignity for the Palestinian people. For others it isn't. I don't think you should paint the whole movement with the same brush so easily.

I've used old Android smartphones with DroidScript and QPython as a music server, lighting controller, time-lapse camera. More recent smartphones I simply use WebAPI functionality.

I've tried using some old iPhones, but I find them too locked down. Perhaps I gave up too quickly, jailbreaking might have opened up more opportunities.
There it is.. "they happily give the super stars..." but who is a superstar? The answer: the guy/gal doing a show for one. And with her, the record company, the studio assistant, the groupies etc. If there was someone objectively great but quiet, that would be bad. A no show? That would make a sort of bureaucracy necessary that tracks performance objectively..
Anyone else remember seeing this on OSFT years ago? Kinda nostalgic
I don’t know if it makes me more or less cynical but I think a considerable amount of it is that writing stories shitting on things is fun and more people read them when they’re negative and sensational.

“Things are going mostly to plan” isn’t very interesting.
If only we did the same with other work, we’d also all only be working a few hours a day rather than 8–9 still.
How soon? A well proven prediction seems to be "50 years from now" still... At least for Level 5.

I think he was making a tounge in cheek point about how we could finally get extremely well-founded open source projects.
They’re only partially correct no matter what. The timestamp in a ULID has only has millisecond resolution, so two IDs generated in the same millisecond, even within the same process, will be randomly ordered.

In practice though there are a lot of advantages to having approximately-time-ordered IDs, and I’ve found the pitfalls easy enough to avoid.
Idk, that's what I heard. I looked around and the standard $60 edition comes with PS and PC versions. I can't say if one of those is digital only, but even if it is some people were not happy campers about the PSN requirement not being advertised. I assume the PS versions of some games can be played offline with no account, but idk. I don't have a Playstation or a PSN account.
Exactly. The big thing that seems to have been forgotten about the Pi is all those exposed pins. It was designed that way, not just as a small computer.
he didn't write his own code generator, no; g++ used (and uses) gcc's code generator, which i think he'd written some of, but not nearly all of. and of course it used gcc's preprocessor, cccp, as well. but it wasn't generating c output like cfront, it was producing the same ir the c frontend did

according to that page, there were four more numbered versions of gcc before april, but i don't know enough to say whether they were beta-quality or not; i didn't start using gcc myself until four years later. but if you were on the net at that time you could get a copy of g++, beta or no, while zortech's product wasn't available yet at any price
> Europe has done the same with Russia.

Yes. Which I find abhorrent as an European, and has made me realize even more than our countries are much less democratic than we officially paint them as.
Yeah I was just comparing it to other things that are very expensive (by weight and size) like, saffron, truffles, caviar, printer ink, etc.

>You would just lose access to your game after 4 months, how is that a slight inconvenience?

Unless you were physically unable to make a PSN account, this is the exaggeration I fear from such review bombs. And yes, I know PSN supports less countries than Steam, but how many people on the internet really reside in one of those non-supported areas? I would bet it is less than 84,000 people.

>There are probably times when you could make an argument like this, but this isn't one of them.

I don't think it's a good thing to only point out a systematic issue when it's inconviient. That's how these "but it worked here" sorts of issues become abused. I'd rather point out how this snowball is rolling before it becomes a boulder later on, especially when boulders have already formed and gone not nearly as mentioned.

>A company pulled something very anti-consumer,

Pet peeve: "anti-consumer" has lost all meaning. Paying $10 more was "anti consumer", downloading a store of your own preference is "anti-consumer". Now making an account you don't like is "anti-consumer"? You see how this word has gotten diluted in the gaming community, no?

I miss when inconveniences were just that, inconvient. Not a declaration of war for capitalism.
> So we've had what, two incidents (xz and eventstream) in how many years?

This is specious reasoning.

You're only complaining you only heard of two incidents.

What you're really pointing out is that this attack vector works reliably well and is reproducible across projects.

You're also pointing out that this attack vector will continue to work until something is done to mitigate it.

I really do not understand what point you think you are making.
For that, does "asians" mean people from the middle of asia (ie middle east), or people from south east asia (ie oriental)?

Asking because the term has different meanings in say the UK (asian -> from middle east) vs Australia (asian -> from south east asia).
> It's a new one? I guess you are not the target audience of this Windows manager if you are not willing to give it a try and explore the features and the experience before rationalizing it's usefulness

To add some perspective, I am the target audience for a new Window Manager, but I'm still gonna need a goal or mission statement before I try it out.

No need to be fancy, just use one of the following stock phrases:

For people who like eye candy...

A clutter-free, spartan environment

Smart(er) tiling/stacking/workspace management

Lean and fast

Big with tons of value-added features

Highly customisable

"It Just Works(tm)"

A (simpler|more complex) alternative to (Gnome|Plasma|Windowmaker|Xfce)[1]

A (new|old|ancient) way to manage workflows

Designed for (programmer|designer|gamer|salesman) productivity

After all, creating a minimal Window Manager is about 2kLoC (in C). Someone who went to the effort to write maybe 20kLoC

a) Ain't stupid or incompetent in the least

and

b) Must have had a good reason for doing so!

Telling the world that reason can only help - the majority of us support new projects, we don't diss them for no reason (for that, we go to reddit :-))

[1] Yes, I know that some of those are desktop environments and some are window managers. No, I don't want to argue about the difference.
Doves is insanely easy on the eyes despite so much going on. There is also mebinac[1] an unauthorized contemporary take on the original doves. Mebinac doesn't leap off the page as well yet deals with modern punctuation in a more normal way.

Personally you can freely use them to great affect in your RSS reader or mail app that you read everyday.

But you already have cameras, screen, GPS, magnetometer, WiFi, IMU. To equip a RPi with only a subset of those would add considerably to the cost.

You can even easily interface any Arduino for additional GPIOs via OTG and USB.
They hit the theme/immersion perfectly for me.

Lots of other games it feels like you are playing a game, there are parts where you like "yah this is like this because game mechanics" that break immersion a lot.

Almost nothing in Helldivers 2 breaks your immersion.
The strain of bacteria was described as "notoriously drug-resistant". It didn't sound to me like the bacteria became drug-resistant in space.
I am using ksuid and it's been great.
yeah, it seems like you got a kind of bad package? is it the same as the version from https://www.bdsoft.com/resources/bdsc.html?
Wayland might be the future (though I'm personally a bit skeptical). It is already the default on many distros. At the same time, X11 is very unlikely to just stop working or disappear, since there's really no good reason to kill it.
Bonus points if you can describe it using mathematical terminology that few people have heard about.
All non-free PlayStation games require both a PlayStation Network account and an active PlayStation Plus subscription for online play. Free games don't require a subscription but still require an account as far as I know. And seeing as Helldivers 2 is online only, you need both an account and a subscription to play it at all on a PlayStation.
Also not cool for a ban on PSN to mean a ban on your PC game .
The answer differs whether you answer it selfishly or with the greater good in mind (resource use/waste, pollution, etc)
Apparently most people care more about being able to make a living out of selling software, as supermarkets are quite bad at taking Github stars, while others rather not pay for the work of others.

Any media coverage that isn’t from a niche right wing news site yelling about the woke kids?

That's the bane of democracy, not to say that we have a better alternative. Because democracy has been assigned to be any system where there are some elections and people vote. Universal suffrage is itself is pretty modern. The decisions in bastions of democratic countries where in the hands of a few elite. What is the distinguishing factor of a high quality democracy is it when it does have a set of constitution, and is republic by nature. The rule of law is enforced. Selective enforcement is nonexistent.

On an assessment by these very basic qualities, the current Regime in charge can't be really classified as a democracy. It is an excuse for democracy. An overgrown military outpost formed out of crusade era objectives and European anti semitic emotions. Not to mention the oil and perceived potential of the region to be a western adversary.
In the words of US president, US-UK still believes that if there were no Israel, then they would have to create one. Which is ironic, since they are the ones who created it.
I have no idea how all those newspapers could manage >>independent<< investigations, as the Israeli army banned journalists. The first time [that I saw] CNN reported on something they actually filmed was The Israeli army pointing at tunnels.

The "Summary" is clearly biased and absolutely not "The best we know" depending on who is "we"

I have no idea about the reasons of the explosion, but contesting the palestinian dead toll without [credible] sources is politics.

I dare say United Nations might have a more balanced approach, and they cite the enclave health authorities when they say that as of April 22th there are 34,000 deaths. No other source is cited for some reason.

BTW, CNN is now much less biased towards the israeli narrative. During 2023 [Latam] CNN seemed a Netanyahu's outlet more that anything. France24 and DW >>seem<< neutral right now. Spain outlets have mediocre coverange, and Latinamerican outlets are only citing random news from other outlets.

I think it's fairly clear that given this definition (which is the same one I always reference), Israel isn't committing a genocide.

If you do think Israel is committing a genocide, I think one thing you have to do is demonstrate how what Israel is doing is different from any other war (e.g. war on ISIS, Afghanistan, Iraq as obvious examples).

The statute makes the difference pretty clear - it's the intent to kill some (definable) part of the members of the group. This is not the case with Israel given its current actions and lack of actions; it could kill far more people if it decided to, militarily speaking. (I say this not because Israel deserves any "credit" for not killing more people, obviously, only to make it clear that the reason more aren't killed isn't because of lack of capability, but because of lack of desire to kill more).

Of course, you might disagree with me. If you don't have some kind of way to distinguish between what Israel is doing and what e.g. the US did in Iraq, you can just bite the bullet and say that all wars are genocide. That would be a consistent POV, but that would also effectively render the concept of Genocide meaningless.

No they didn't, that is why before Stalmman, most UNIX stuff was either free because AT&T wasn't allowed to charge for UNIX as commercial product, or MIT/BSD license.

Which is how UNIX workstation market came to be, and how even Windows ended up with BSD code on the networking stack.
